As soon as Charles came out of the room, Elizabeth suddenly sat down on the catch that was just next to her. She felt like all her strength was gone. She couldn't quite imagine how she was able to handle herself to act strong in front of Charles. She showed that she was not affected by his presence but deep inside her, she wanted to run away from him but at the same time she felt like her feet were buried in the floor and she couldn't take even just a single step. She could hear her heart pounding so fast just because she was breathing the same air that her husband was breathing and she couldn't also deny that at the same time, she felt excited to see him again after a couple of days that they had been away. And, Elizabeth knew that if not Albert wasn't there, she might have already gone and just left the company as soon as she recovered. She felt when Albert sat next to her and then his hand was on her shoulders. She was startled because of what the man did. Albert seemed t
It was Daniel. His personal assistant got inside his office. He could see on his face that he was hesitating to come near him, maybe because the man saw that he wasn't in the mood. "Come here," he said as he encouraged him to go near his desk. He couldn't help but shake his head because of his employee's reaction. It was as if he was going to bite him the way he reacted. Daniel cleared his throat and looked at him when he was finally in front of his desk. He raised his eyebrows as if saying to him that he could say whatever he wanted to say. "Sir, I just wanted to remind you that we need to go to the conference room to announce your brother's arrival and that he would be the new president of the company," Daniel exclaimed. "And, I believe that all the board members and the head of each department were already there and they are just waiting for us," he added. He let out a deep sigh. He couldn't understand why all of a sudden he wasn't in the
Charles felt his muscles suddenly tensed because of his brother's response and he knew to himself that he was right. Why was he asking? Did it matter to him to know how his ex-wife met Albert? They were already divorce and as far as he could tell, he was the one who initiated it, so what's happening to him? It just didn't make any sense. He couldn't explain the weird thoughts that were running inside his head since he saw the two together. He knew that he didn't have any right to react the way that he was reacting but he couldn't just help it. There was something inside him that was being triggered by the thought that Albert was showing extra care for his ex-wife. "Let's go, let's just leave her since she's peacefully sleeping," Albert mumbled and then he started to walk heading to the door. He just looked at his brother as he walked out of the room. And, before Charles decided to follow his brother, he gave a glance at Elizabeth who was peacefully sleeping as if
"Penny of your thoughts?" Albert's voice dragged him out from deep thoughts. His brother was looking at him. He was staring at him as if he was wondering why suddenly, he was silent. "Is there something wrong?" Albert asked again when he didn't respond to him. He looked at his brother's eyes and smiled. He didn't notice that his mind wandered again and he quietly cursed himself. He didn't know why all of a sudden he was thinking about Elizabeth when in fact, he got rid of her in his life. He shook his head. "Nothing, bro. I am sorry.So, what did your secretary want to have? Did you already have an order?" He asked his brother, trying to hide the embarrassment that he was feeling. He felt his cheek were hot because of being caught by his brother staring blankly. He didn't even notice that Albert was already done talking to Ellie and he had his orders already. Charles couldn't figure out why there were strange emotions that were starting to fill hi
Elizabeth didn't notice that she had already dozed off. Since she got pregnant, she easily feels tired and sleepy. She just laid herself down on the couch while waiting for Albert to return but suddenly she felt her eyelids feeling heavy so she closed her eyes and she didn't notice that she already fell asleep. She felt a bit of pain in her back because of the position she had while sleeping on the couch. Next time, she should be more careful. She looked around the room when she woke up because she noticed that the room had been quiet for some time and she saw Albert was not on his desk. She checked the time on her wrist watch and she saw that it was already lunch time and she felt her stomach growling inside as well. She took her phone inside her bag and then immediately called Albert to check where he was or if he had already had his lunch. It took a couple of rings before the call got finally connected. It seemed that the man was busy. Did he already start to work? As f
"Thank you for dropping me home," Elizabeth said after Albert opened the car door for her. Albert guided her until she was able to come out of the car. He smiled at her showing his perfect white teeth. Inside her mind, she couldn't help but compare the two men. They were related by blood but Albert was so different from Charles. The man was a gentleman and she couldn't believe all the things that he was doing towards her. Since they went to the Jones Corporation, the man was treating her like a fragile object and he looked like he was so afraid that she would get hurt or what. The man was so protective of her, maybe because he knew that she had the baby of his half-brother inside her. She felt a pinch in her heart because of the thought that it was supposed to be Charles who was on her side, who was making her feel loved and protected but the man shut her out of his life the same day that she discovered that their child was starting to grow inside her. Suddenly, s
"Thank you, Dad. I don't know what to say. I am sorry if you are seeing me like this but I know I should be able to do it. Please, don't worry about me," Elizabeth mumbled as she tightly hugged her father. She knew that her father was also hurting as much as she was in pain because of her situation. But, she didn't want him to get involved with her heart problem. "You are the best dad in the world. I am sorry if I am choosing to do this on my own and I know that you understand me,," she added. "I know. I know, dear. I just want you to know that even if I am away from you, I am always here for you. Just take care of yourself and your baby," her father said after he separated himself from her. It has been a while since her father left and she must admit that was the reason why she needed to be strong but now that she knew that her father was there for her, she felt that she got stronger knowing that she had someone to help her. After all she did three ye
Charles stepped out of the car and then he opened the door for her. He received a call from Elaine. She was asking for him to accompany her to the hospital because she was having her prenatal checkup. Though he couldn't understand why Elaine didn't tell him ahead of time, being a first time father, he was so happy to know that his child was healthy. Yes, it's the first time for him to know early that he was going to be a father. That there's a little life inside Elaine. She was carrying his heir. No matter who the woman was, he didn't care because he was glad that finally, he would be a father soon. He couldn't explain the feeling that he had inside of him because of the great news that Elaine had told him. He felt like he was the luckiest man in the world the moment she said that she was pregnant. He didn't know whether to punch the wall because of happiness or jump in joy because finally, his dream to become a father finally came true and he couldn't ask for more. He was tha
